* BatmanGambit: Lily locks Barney & Robin in a room to have them define their relationship (as seen below) so they just say their boyfriend and girlfriend so Lily will get off their case. But, as Lily notes at the end, that's what they are, whether they want to admit it or not, meaning her plan worked.

* NotMeThisTime: When Robin finds her bedroom door locked, she assumes Barney locked it as part of roleplay and says their SafeWord so he'll unlock it. Barney informs her that he really didn't lock it, to which Lily, who's on the other side, reveals she did so the two of them can finally define the relationship.

* RelationshipLabelingProblems: Robin and Barney start their relationship by having repeated sex but refusing to call themselves a couple, despite the clear evidence that they have feelings for one another. Their friends, particularly Lily, insist they actually find a good way to describe their relationship. Lily even locks them in a room and forces them to have "the talk" about defining their relationship. At the end, Barney and Robin decide to lie and pretend they're boyfriend and girlfriend... the joke being that [[EveryoneCanSeeIt they don't have to try that hard to pretend they love each other]].
